How to be insanely productive compared to most

I’ve always been drawn to creating and making things.

I’d copy cartoon drawings of Goofy, Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse.

I made a 3-page James Bond comic when I was 11.

I wrote my first book at 24.

But I could have been 10 times more productive growing up had I not come up with good reasons in my head to avoid starting.

My passion was there, but I didn’t finish half of what I started.

This procrastination continued into my twenties and early thirties.

More time wasted.

As I learned more about spiritual growth and Eastern philosophy, it finally hit me why I wasn’t creating more.

It wasn’t for lack of talent or passion or even my will to be more focused.

It was because my thoughts were getting in the way.

I was creating stress instead of allowing creativity to appear.

I wanted badly to be focused.

But because I was so focused on focusing, I was less productive.

I was pressuring myself to be more focused, and this led to more thinking.

And it’s thinking too much that stopped me from doing.

I eventually learned the unbelievable power of not trying to think my way into doing.

That’s all it took. You don’t think to do. You DO to do.

When I stopped trying to focus and just did things instead, I created more.

My writing became more effortless.

Because I just wrote instead of thinking about how little I was writing or what I should write. I just wrote.

Huge amounts of non-worry time was freed up.

It seems insignificant, but over time this increase in output compounds.

My audience grew exponentially.

All because I was willing to stop interfering with my thoughts.

This becomes a lot easier to do when you have the same insights about the mind as I did.

I’ve put them in a course in the correct order. You think less and stress less, all because of how you understand how thoughts work.

That’s all it takes to be effortlessly productive.
